balance is a love story

[id: ten screenshots of transcripts. 

“Lucretia: I can do this Magnus, please, [voice starts to become staticky and fade] please just lie down, I don’t want you to fall and hurt yourself. I love you, Magnus, I love all of you. I’m sorry, it’ll be over soon.”

“Justin: And Taako walks over to Angus. Taako: Hey, um, cool knife. You know he has a sword that’s on fire, right? So, just before you get too excited, he did just give you a knife, I just want you to remember who’s your dude? Who’s your dude? Griffin: He runs over and he just grabs on to you, um, and also gives you a big, weepy hug.”

“Looking back, this performance is where that love that Barry and Lup cultivated quietly and cautiously over the last half century truly bloomed. There was romance in every measure, and longing in every note. And after the performance, they- they take each other’s hands high in the air, and they swoop down for this over-the-top bow, just laughing at- at the drama of it all. And the audience cheers. And Barry and Lup laugh, and they don’t let each other’s hands go. And then they stop laughing, and they don’t let each other’s hands go. And they keep not letting go. And Lup says,  Lup: Barry, do you wanna go talk somewhere for a while? Griffin: And Barry says,  Barry: [Wholeheartedly] Yeah.”

“Taako: Well I’m not leaving without Barry.”

“Magnus: I’m so sorry I forgot you, buddy. I’m so sorry.  Griffin: Um, it lifts up one of its tendrils and puts it on your shoulder. Travis: I lean my head in so that my forehead’s pushing against it and I start humming.”

“Taako: Am I…? I’m not going to lose you again.  Griffin: She says, Lup: Never. Never again, bud.  Griffin: And floats over and hugs you and says, Lup: Please don’t die.  Taako: I’d say the same to you, but that ship done sailed, eh?”

“Travis: I-I just stare at her. Not in a dumbfounded way, not in a I-can’t-believe-it way, but just. I can’t not look at her.  Griffin: She sets her tools down, and she smiles, and she says, Julia: You lived so much longer than I thought you were going to! Magnus: [tearfully] I know, I’m sorry I made you wait. Griffin: I think she starts running towards you, and you start running towards her, and you embrace in front of this house, and the two dogs are just kind of weaving around your feet as you stand there for what feels like hours, and- Travis: I whisper in her ear, Magnus: [tearfully] I tried to make you proud.”

“Lup: Barry already gave me a day. And… I love him, Taako, with all of my heart, but you… I needed a day from you, because you are my heart. You know that, right?”

“Griffin: She… smiles and she says,  Mavis: Well, you’re my hero too, dad, not just because you saved the world, but… because… I know how hard you’re trying.  Griffin: And she comes in for a hug, and she says, Mavis: I–I love you, dad. Merle: [softly] I love you too, baby.”

“Clint: Starbuck- okay. Um, if it’s about the finale, the one time I can remember crying was, um… was Merle’s last scene with, uh- stop looking at me, Juice- Merle’s last scene with Mavis, when, uh, she talked about how proud she was of how well he was doing, and he said “I love you, baby”, because that was- that was kinda me telling you guys the same thing.”

Taako: alright, I am going to make the cake then.

Lup, overenthusiastically: oh, you don't need to worry about it. Bear's bringing the cake

Taako, already regretting this whole discussion: so when- shut up, listen. so when you say Barold is bringing the cake, do you mean: Taako, Barry can actually bake on par with you now! he's been training for the hundred plus years we've known him for this very moment. aren't you proud? or, fucking OR, do you mean: wow I've been thinking about his ass all day and he's bringing it

Lup: his ass 120%

Taako: wow, great! good for you. good for him too. anyways, I'm thinking red velvet and buttercream frosting

Oh there must be a hole in your memory

[strawberrygiorno]

[ID: A digital drawing of Barry Bluejeans and the Taaco twins from The Adventure Zone: Balance. Barry is a heavyset man with pale skin, glasses, and short brown hair. He’s wearing a collared shirt, jeans, and a cape. His color palette is made up of shades of brown. He is shown from the thighs up, standing with his feet apart, sweating and looking at the viewer with shocked distress. One twin is over each of his shoulders, colored in blue. On the left is a bust of Lup, an elf with long hair, half her head shaved, and a cloak. A box full of static covers her eyes, leaving her smile visible. On the right is a bust of Taako, an elf with long hair in a ponytail and wearing a cloak. He looks aside at the viewer with a confused expression, and another box of static is behind his head, lined up with his eyes. Tendrils of blue swirl around them, and white cracks cover the background. The piece has a black frame, and at the bottom, written in white, is the question, “Who?” End ID]

one of the best parts about taz is how the grim reaper is actually a very relatable and reasonable guy, except for the entire arc that he spends either unnecessarily impersonating a god or doing a horrendous fake cockney accent

[herbgerblin]

[ID: First image is a drawing of Barry and Lup standing next to each other and making “:3″ faces. Barry is a short human man with short cur hair and classes. Lup is a tall elven woman with thick curly hair and freckles. Barry looks up at Lup while saying “wup” very cutesy. Lup responds with “bawwy” in the same tone. Second image is of Taako, an elven man, seated at a table and making an expression that is a mix of resignation and disgust. He is also wearing a t-shirt that reads “Juicy.” End ID]

Taako: is this—are y’all flirting? Is that supposed to be flirting? I hate this fucking family

[overdramatic-queer-antagonist]

I love that in TAZ Balance: the thrill seeking street racers, the arsonist, the unkillable specter, the ANTAGONIST, and the gambling grim reaper have more chill than the main three.

Then in Amnesty: that sweet vampire love interest? She committed treason. Character named Jake Coolice? Treason. FBI agent? You guessed it! Treason. The NPCs who didn’t commit treason? Hollis and Keith run a street gang, Pidgion well... you know, Juno- oh wait never mind also treason, Minerva violated the Geneva convention. But the guy who crawls around on walls and bites people? He’s obsessed with gorp and his favorite game is shuffle bored.

Then in Graduation: they’re all apeshit in the exact opposite way you’d expect them to be. Argo couldn’t care less about monetary gain, nope he just wants to murder the most beloved naval hero on Nua. Fitzroy isn’t some rich moron with a shaky moral code. He’s an anarchist who refuses to swear. The firbolg, canon communist, isn’t some angry radical (thank god) nope, he just randomly starts monologuing about economics and listens to the Bare Naked Ladies, apparently.

Kravitz is unaware that no one uses the word “boner” when talking about a mistake anymore. Once he dropped a china plate and just went “Sorry, love, a made a bit of a boner here”. Taako immediately fucking bursts out laughing and just says “What the ACTUAL fuck Krav.”

have some taakos… from tv!

merle finds out when lucretia’s birthday is (feburary 23rd) and finishes her birthday present just in time. when it rolls around she’s not expecting anything much less from merle but he presents her with a hand-knitted sweater with the word DIRECRETIA written on it and explains he didn’t know her real name when he started knitting and didn’t want to restart when he did learn it

[ID] A full color drawing of Taako leaning forward and giving Kravitz a kiss, who is a skeleton. Taako is an elf with tan skin and long blond curly hair. He’s wearing a sleeveless white shirt and a teal skirt, with a tan wizard hat. His eyes are closed as he’s holding Kravitz’s hands as he kisses him. Kravitz is in the form of a skeleton, with glowing red eyes, wearing a red high collared shirt with a long black cape. He’s blushing. Taako says ‘Have a good day at work, babe’ followed by a small heart. [end ID]

these jeans?

[umbraastaff]

[video description: a short, sketched animatic of Barry Bluejeans. the only color in the video is the blue of his jeans. he is gesturing to his jeans while an audio clip of Travis McElroy from the ad segment in The Adventure Zone: Graduation episode 31 plays:

“Oh, where did I get these jeans? These cool jeans that I’m wearing that are super comfortable, and fit my style exactly? Well–”
